Of course, the puzzles are great in this game! They’re not very easy, but not too difficult that you’ll want to throw down the gauntlet and gave up. You do have your Hints to help you out, although they require a cooling down period between each use. It’s not that you’ll need to use them all the time – the puzzles are very intuitive, although you need to have a very good eye.
